Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PV36Y253C01B00 are classified based on strict adherence to the following critical parameters:

Direct Substitutes maintain identical electrical specifications: 25 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, top adjustment, cermet resistive material, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. Mechanical dimensions must remain within acceptable tolerance for PCB footprint compatibility.

Similar Substitutes share the same mechanical form factor, mounting type, termination style, and adjustment mechanism but differ in one or more electrical parameters (such as resistance value). These parts are suitable only when the circuit design permits the specified parameter variation.

The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

• Resistance value (25 kOhms for direct substitutes)
• Power rating (0.5W minimum)
• Adjustment type (Top Adjustment required)
• Termination style (PC Pins required)
• Mounting type (Through Hole required)
• Resistive material (Cermet required)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

3296Y-1-253LF (Direct Substitute): This Bourns Trimpot® 3296 sealed series part maintains identical electrical specifications (25 kOhms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C) and mechanical compatibility with the PV36Y253C01B00. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected. Dimensional variance (9.53mm x 4.83mm versus 9.60mm x 5.00mm) is within acceptable PCB footprint tolerance. This part is suitable for direct substitution in applications where the sealed design of the 3296 series provides additional environmental protection.

67YR25KLF (Direct Substitute with Parameter Variance): This TT Electronics/BI part maintains the critical electrical specifications (25 kOhms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C) and mechanical form factor. The number of turns differs (20 turns versus 25 turns), which affects adjustment resolution. This part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Dimensional variance (9.53mm x 4.95mm) is within acceptable tolerance. This part is suitable for substitution in applications where 20-turn adjustment resolution is acceptable.

PV36W503C01B00 (Similar Substitute): This part shares the same PV36 series platform, mounting type, termination style, and adjustment mechanism as the PV36Y253C01B00. However, the resistance value is 50 kOhms instead of 25 kOhms. This part is suitable only for applications where the circuit design permits a 50 kOhm trimmer potentiometer. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH affected, and maintain identical mechanical dimensions (9.60mm x 5.00mm).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 3296Y-1-253LF be used as a direct replacement for PV36Y253C01B00?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (25 kOhms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C, 25-turn adjustment) and mechanical compatibility. Dimensional differences (9.53mm x 4.83mm versus 9.60mm x 5.00mm) are within acceptable PCB footprint tolerance. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected.

Q: What is the difference between 67YR25KLF and PV36Y253C01B00?

A: The 67YR25KLF differs in the number of adjustment turns (20 turns versus 25 turns). Both maintain 25 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating, and identical tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications. The 20-turn design provides coarser adjustment resolution. The 67YR25KLF is REACH unaffected, while the PV36Y253C01B00 is REACH affected.

Q: Is PV36W503C01B00 compatible with PV36Y253C01B00?

A: PV36W503C01B00 is not a direct substitute. This part has a 50 kOhm resistance value instead of 25 kOhms. It is suitable only for applications where the circuit design specifically requires a 50 kOhm trimmer potentiometer. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions and mounting characteristics.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitute parts?

A: PV36Y253C01B00, 3296Y-1-253LF, and PV36W503C01B00 are supplied in tube packaging. The 67YR25KLF is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection may affect procurement and handling procedures.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant. Regarding REACH compliance: PV36Y253C01B00, 3296Y-1-253LF, and PV36W503C01B00 are REACH affected. The 67YR25KLF is REACH unaffected. Compliance requirements should be verified against specific application and regional regulations.
